Late posting today!!!
I want to go on record here…..I MISS Mexico.
We have all been griping about the weather, well I am adding a new element. The cost of food!!
Remember these tomatoes that were being sold door to door on the Isla….
So today I went to the store and I paid 50cents for one small tasteless tomatoe!
I’m going to plant tomatoes in my flower beds this summer….that is if summer ever comes. Yes we are back to clouds, showers, rain and winds at 30km/h gusting to 50!! Enough already!!
……and I refuse just simply refuse to discuss the cost of fuel!!!! Enough said.

The food DOES taste much better in Mexico. I guess the only thing for us Northerners to do is visit a local farmers market or food co-op. Much more spendy, but good and good-for-you!
Oh, and that very red, tasteless tomato? It’s only that red because they gas it. Feel better now?
Yes the cost of food, beer, wine and alcohol is a culture shock once we are back in Canada, a lot of it is related to the cost of fuel AND high taxes in Canada and making these vegetables available year round here.
